Ways of Telling

by Xandra Bingley

‘The settings of these pieces are hugely varied but Bingley brings a penetrating eye and sharp wit to their many different milieus . . . As well as being inventively and compellingly written, the book is often darkly funny . . . Marvellous.’ Peter Parker, Spectator

Published 29th April, available to order now.

On the Couch: Twenty Extraodinary Personalities from Picasso to Putin

by Andrew Jamieson

On the Couch throws new light on the motivations and desires of some of our most memorable personalities.

‘Perceptive, highly intelligent … Jamieson’s summaries of psychoanalytic ideas are invaluable. But the excitement lies in the authoritative way the author illuminates key theories by applying them to the lives of 20 truly remarkable individuals whose names are famous -even if the detail of their lives is not so well known … Fascinating.’ Bel Mooney, Mail on Sunday

‘An impressively accessible introduction to psychotherapy that balances its inherent complexities with familiar, personal touchstones.’ Kirkus

Smoke

by John Berger Selçuk Demirel

Smoke, then, really is a gift, only not one that you merely purchase – Berger always hated the idea of art as commodity. Instead, and against all cynicism, it’s something passed between Berger, Benjamin, Demirel, and the reader, who together form a smoking circle wherein a story might be told.’
